Mali Satellite Map

Mali has the 8th highest landmass in Africa at 1,240,192 square kilometers (478,841 sq mi). The Sahara Desert dominates the central and northern regions of Mali, which is about 65% of the country.

While forests cover about 10% of the country, just 5% is set aside for agriculture production. Overall, its two most prominent rivers are the Niger and Senegal Rivers. The Niger River is described as the “lifeblood” of Mali because it creates a large and fertile inland delta before emptying into the Gulf of Guinea.
